Cumbria Prayer Diary December 2020 & January 2021 Praying with our fellow Christians in Cumbria, together with our link dioceses of Northern Argentina, Stavanger and Zululand It is to be hoped it will be possible to produce a prayer diary booklet once again soon. In the meantime, thank you for your patience and being willing to print off copies. We will continue to pray for those who are in the front line of dealing with the current pandemic and the use of the following prayer is encouraged: Loving God, as your Son healed the sick And brought good news to the needy Be with us this day. Loving Jesus as you taught us to ‘Do unto others as you would have them do to you’ Be with all the medical staff this day. Loving spirit, your gift is healing, Bring your healing fire to our homes, our hospitals and our county, But most of all, be with us this day. Amen For full information of the Anglican Communion please visit https://www.anglicancommunion.org/resources/cycle-of- prayer.aspx Prayer Diary Administrator – Joy Barrie
